Just discovered my 7 yr old stole a significant amount of money. What do I do? Its not the first time he's stolen something so clearly consequences aren't helping. He is also classic odd so actually had a huge meltdown over it. I'm at my wits end with him! Please help

I don't have any ideas for now.
since you mentioned your DS stole money before you should realize thst some kids "need" their own money. Give him some chores and pay him for that. Give him an allowence.
can he return the money he stole? Maybe he should "work it off". Part of his allowence he should keep and part should go toward paying back his debt.
